'95 Honda Civic AC System Restomod - *NEW* Foam Seal and A/C Aluminum Tape!!! 

I’ve did the cabin air filter retrofit in my 00 coupe. All 98+ civic & integras came with the updated 97-01 crv hvac box with the slot for the cabin air filter but the civic and integra never came with the filter from factory. When I replaced my ac evaporator due to a leak I just ordered a new 98+ evaporator from Rock auto and fit perfect. Also the 1st gen insight uses the same exact hvac housing as the 98+ civic and 97-01 crv so you can either order replacement cabin air filters for a crv or insight on Amazon when getting a new one. I personally use a charcoal activated filter and replace it yearly.

Informative video! I wish I stumbled on this when I was adding the AC to my EK hatch! Might go back and do it again eventually. This is too good!

Love the vids from PR, They helped me a lot in understanding the A/C on this cars thx to them I got it working on my 95 EG sedan DX and did the Cabin Air filter upgrade using a 98 EK hatchback, at the moment I'm thinking of trying to upgrade the condenser to a full size one because I can only get it to(night)-60° (day)-70° degrees and my system is charged correctly but idk if I'm expecting much I'm used to my 95 K1500 that's always at 40° with no issues also I wanted to add that I had to eliminate my A/C thermostat because it was randomly turning off the A/C until I would shut off the car and restart again with outwaiting and I changed it from a 94 and it did the same thing sow I just took the Blue/Red, Yellow/White and connected them sow the only way the A/C turns off is by me pressing the A/C button, Also the A/C button in my case sometimes sent the ground sow the signal to the relay and sometimes it didn't but the light would always come on and I found out if you pushed a bit harder than usual it would always work, I took the Low side pipe that goes to the cabin connecting to the evaporator and got it added with bong for a low pressure switch from 2011 ford escape and just spliced it before the ground (signal) goes to the high pressure switch, Finally I redid the Relays with only 1 60 amp relay and extended a bit the cables like the Condenser fan blue/black wire and did a little hole sow I could hide mostly all the cables and the relay itself.

This video just popped in my recommendations, i have a 99 hatch and just fixed the A/C! i just wish that parts for old hatches were in better conditions, in my town in facebook marketplace i saw an old civic AF that i could not find parts for it and went for an EK.

Nice progress, just recover the headliner. If your carpet isn't destroyed, you could spray dye it, usually comes out pretty clean

I’m pretty sure the carpet in the coupes and hatches are the same. 4 doors might be aswell

How’s the ac working looking to fix my 97s ac system also probably just going to buy everything I can for from autozone
